What does PIR mean? One description of the base said it can turn on a motions light. How does this work?

Passive Infra Red... basically, the remote units send invisible light throughout the area you want to protect and reports, as an alarm, if the beam is broken. If you have pets, it's recommended to aim the sensors slightly above their height in the room, if possible. Motion activated lights require a separate transmitter to send the info to the base and turn on any lights you have plugged into it.

PIR stands for "passive infra-red" reciever. These are your monitor/transmitter alarm boxes that evaluate relative motion and send an alert to the base station. I don't have the instruction book here at home, it's in the office, but I think the "light' business is just a gimmick light in the PIR that gives you a visual cue that the system is powered up and functioning. While you have the case open you can turn that function off and save some battery life.

If you want to leave the other two lights on all the time this will work fine. Obviously if you turnthe switch off the unit will not work. If you turn the switch off and back on again later the motionsensor lamp will turn on and stay on for about 10 minutes then turn off and turn on when it sensesmotion

I couldn't get it to work properly. I decided to go with this from ebay. Woks perfectly. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Automatic-Infrared-PIR-Motion-Sensor-Switch-DC-12V-24V-8A-Detector-Practical-/261479825604?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item3ce16980c4

I don't know of any actual motioning...mine doesn't move, just beautiful lit up.

It's a mechanical motion sensor. As long as you have it turned on, it will works when you move it.

If it detects lights it does not turn on when it senses motion and they turns off when you turn the lights on. Or one of the end ones will light up because there is motion but not light and the other end will not because there is not motion or there is light. They work surprisingly well. Better than expected. But I can't find the expansions to go with it.

You don't want this one then. This is a motion sensing switch that triggers when an object passes within the zone of the infrared sensor. You want a photocell, which triggers when there is a sufficient change in light. They are called dusk to dawn switches too.

You set up a time interval to turn off the lights after it last detected motion. I had mine set up so that when I entered the room between 6:00 pm and 10:00 pm, it would turn on the lights. After X number of minutes you define, the lights will go off. If you want them on again and are in the room, you just move so that the sensor picks you up.That being said, I strongly recommend against buying this product. It's great when it works, but for me, I was spending so much time configuring, resetting, and reconfiguring that the time/energy saved was pointless.

I returned this bulb. The motion sensor did not work well. I bought these instead on Amazon....Viridi Motion Activated 8.1 Watt LED Bulb (2 Pack).I had them since March 2013. And they work great. The Viridi ones do not come on during the daytime. I installed them at my outdoor covered patio. But I noticed Amazon does not have them available right now.

The SL-4132MW is a Dusk to Dawn motion sensing light. It senses motion from dusk to dawn which activates the light to come on. It doesn't come on in the daylight because that's not what it is made for. Mine works perfect. Any time at night when the sensor detects movement the light will come on. Very good buy and great product for the money and is simple to install.

There's also a sensor slider switch between lamp and reset switch... I believe it's a motion sensor. If it does not sense any movement for awhile, it will shutoff. Switch this to off if you want the stars continuously on or timed for an hour.

I believe you'd have to ask the inventors of motion detectors 'how' these smart little instruments work internally. Here's what I know: when the sensor is set to'on'; in a dark room, any motion (shadow?) in its path, will trigger the light to go on!

I'm not sure. I'm still having intermittent problems, sometimes i'm unable to turn off the light. I'm thinking of disabling the light and installing a motion sensor light in the garage. Hope this is of some help,,,,,

Hmmmm. Never really noticed. So I went and checked it out. The red led comes on when motion is detected. It blinks only when movement is detected. Otherwise it is out. Hope that solves your question. P'Cola Bob.

The brand name is "Creative Motion" and the item is "lighted orchid" :-) there is no motion or motion activated component to the light. I hope this helps!

If I understand your question right...this light does turn on automatically with motion if its dark where you place it and goes off in about 20 seconds...if you set it on auto.. Its a motion light...or you can set to on to stay on.

I can't answer your questions because someone installed it for me but I have had several motion lights before that have given me greef. This one has not failed ever. You get what you pay for. I would give it 5 stars.
